35-Year Experience with Surgical Treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

ConclusionsSurgical treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa by wide local excision with healing by secondary intention using tap water-moistened plain gauze dressings changed 2 –3 times per day is a simple, practical approach that has good results. Recurrence of disease is common and should not be thought of as a failure of surgical treatment, but rather as a feature of the disease that must be anticipated and managed.
